Description
The West has become an expert in invasion and war-not because of threats to the home front but to exploit natural resources that do not belong to us.
The time has come for individual Christians to fire their consciences instead of guns. A passion of conscience is the only rational way to subvert our national differences.
Patrick Mooney explores how the spirituality of nonviolent resistance can bring us to a better place in this book. Arguing that violence has not made us happy, he shares insights such as:
¿ Christ told us, "You find by giving away." We become more by giving ourselves to one another.
¿ We in the West have huge obligations toward poorer nations because of all the goods we have stolen through imperialism.
¿ We are taught that satiation of the ego is our only purpose. Contrary to natural law, the profit motive has become the driving force of our lives.
The crisis facing our planet stems from our failure to differentiate between religion and spirituality on the one hand, and religion and politics on the other. Social inequality arises exactly because we have failed to balance the relationship between materiality and spirituality.
